Severus loved to spend his blissful days with his beloved wife. He would trade the world just to have one peaceful morning in your arms, waking up next to you without having to rush anywhere, and just keeping each other warm in bed without any disturbance from anyone.

He looked forward for every single weekend, so that he could find his solace through holding you close into his chest, not even minding to wake up at the sound of birds singing. You did not have to go to work and he did not have to face the silly dunderheads. Weekends were everything to Severus since he had you in his life.

But that morning, Severus wanted to do something even more special for you. He knew you loved it when he cooked for you, and he did not feel like sleeping in that day so he decided to make some breakfast for his darling wife.

Planting a soft kiss on your head, Severus smiled at you, who was sleeping soundly in bed. He tried not to make any noise as he got out of the bed, wanting you to get as much as rest you needed. He was aware of how hectic your week was, and you were beyond stressed out, he wished he could help you a bit.

"I love you."

He whispered under his breath, astonished to get a sigh of content from you, even if you were in a deep sleep. He could not help but leave another kiss on your head, lingering there for a bit before reminding himself that he wanted to prepare breakfast for you.

Glancing at your sleeping form for the last time, a small smile was formed on his lips, Severus went to his kitchen. He was not the best cook, but you always complimented his cooking, that he was better of a cook than you were, and he was not going to argue with it. If there was one thing he was better than you, it would be cooking.

While Severus was busy preparing breakfast, he felt something brushing against his leg, and he rolled his eyes, immediately knowing what it was. He looked down to see your cat, the one he got for you for your birthday two years ago since you wanted a pet so bad. He was not a cat person, but he would be lying if he say he never adored that cat, the one you loved so dearly.

"What do you want? I'm busy."

He murmured, as if the cat understood him. Severus had always thought it was absurd for people to talk to their cats, but now he was doing it too. Well, he learned it from you. He loved how you talked to every cat you found on the streets, greeting them cheerfully, and by time Severus realised it was just in your nature. 

"Stop it."

He warned, as your cat kept budging against his leg, and a sigh escaped his lips. He was talking to a cat, again, as he had been doing for the past two years.

"Loki."

He called out of his name, and the fluffy black cat stayed still, as if glaring at the Potions Master with his green eyes. Severus frowned, when the glare on him softened, and Loki started to purr.

"Fine. You want to eat, don't you?"

At Severus' words, Loki was meowing even louder and he hushed the cat, not wanting to wake you up. The professor huffed in annoyance, but he could not hold back a smile that was growing on his face as he watched the adorable cat ate his food.

If his students ever see Professor Snape in his pyjamas, cooking breakfast, and feeding his cat, while smiling — They would freak out.

Severus continued what he was doing when the cat was no longer disturbing him. And as much as he was annoyed with Loki, once the cat walked out of the kitchen, Severus felt a little bit lonely without his little fluffy buddy now.

As soon as he was done, Severus did not wait any second to go and wake you up. His heart swelled in joy to see you in bed, looking as beautiful as ever and he would be forever grateful to be married to such an angel like yourself.

While he was drooling over his enchanting wife, he quickly reminded himself to wake you up for breakfast. Getting into bed, he ran his fingers through your hair, only for you to curl up in bed, falling even deeper in sleep if that was possible.

"Wake up, love."

His voice was gentle, and he kissed your forehead softly, but still, you did not want to wake up just yet. Severus squinted his eyes and tried to call your name again, but you just snuggled into his warm chest, causing a chuckle to escape his throat.

"Y/N, my love, breakfast is ready."

He shook you, hoping to wake you up but it was not as easy as it seemed to be. You yawned and shook your head, opening your eyes only to shut them again once the sunlight hit your eyes.

"I don't want to."

Your voice was muffled as you buried your face in the pillow now, getting away from your husband who was trying to get you out of bed.

"You have to, love."

"No. I want to sleep."

Severus knew you would hate him if he do it, but he did it anyway, knowing you were ticklish and it was the only way to wake you up. A smirk was dancing on his lips as his fingers started to find their ways on your waist, tickling you without any mercy.

"Severus Snape, stop!"

You cried out, laughter was forced out of your mouth as your husband kept tickling your sides. Severus grinned, and he found it hard to stop when the sight of you laughing with tears in your eyes was so humorous to him. It was so entertaining to see his graceful wife being tickled like that.

"I will not stop, my love. This is entertaining."

He started to laugh as well, not knowing how angry you were that you were trying to get out of his evil grasp. You did not know how long it had been, but you were getting exhausted and you just wanted him to stop.

"Severus, I swear if you don't stop—"

You words were cut short with another fit of laughter, as your husband did not even try to hide his amused smile. Severus had to bit the inside of his cheeks to hold back his laughs, but he felt like teasing you even more.

"You are so adorable—"

Severus did not get to finish his sentence when your foot met his face, in the middle of his tickling endeavour. He stopped tickling you immediately, hissing in pain as he noticed his nose was bleeding from how hard your foot was hitting him.

"Shit, I'm so sorry, darling!"

To say you were panicking was an understatement. You just hit your husband on his face, probably breaking his nose. Perhaps it was not that bad, but he was bleeding! Severus held his nose, looking at you in disbelief.

"My nose is bleeding."

"I can see that, Severus!"

"Did you just— How strong are you?"

"I had no control, alright? You tickled me!"

"In my defence, love, it was pretty fun."

He said smugly, and you looked at him, not believing he was entertained by how ticklish you were.

"It was not fun, Severus."

"Well, you are not the one with a bloody nose."

"Oh my god, your nose!"

Severus never thought his morning would end up with him having a bloody nose, but that was what he got for tickling his wife without thinking twice. You sat him down on the bed and went to get an ice pack to help him.

When you came back, you burst into laughter as you saw how pissed off he was. Severus glared at you, but you were his wife, there was no way you would cower under his intense gaze. After all, he was asking for this.

"Don't be mad at me, Professor. You started this."

You said, firmly pinching the soft part of his nose, and him wincing in pain dramatically. You could not hold back a grin, amused, to see the consequences of trying to tease you.

"I didn't start this. I just wanted to wake you up for breakfast."

He defended himself, pouting at you. Your heart melted and you kissed his head, taking the ice pack in your hands and putting it on the bridge of his nose.

"Aww, I love your pretty nose."

You mumbled, as you held the ice pack on his nose. Severus smiled, loving how much you took care of him every time something happened. His nose was one of his insecurities but you made sure to let him know that you adored it, and you were not deceiving him. His nose was one of many things that made him so attractive in your eyes.

"It is so attractive, too bad it is bloody now."

You teased him, and Severus chuckled, gazing lovingly at you.

"And whose fault is that?"

He questioned, smirking, as you pretended to be thinking for awhile.

"Mine. But not entirely, of course, you had part in this as well."

Severus let you helped him, the breakfast he prepared was long forgotten as his focus now was on you. He was busy staring at his gorgeous wife when your cat jumped into his lap, taking him by surprise.

"Hello, Loki!"

You said in a small voice, giggling as you patted the cat's head lovingly. Severus smiled as the cat got comfortable, stretching out in his lap. His hands ran through the soft fur of your adorable cat, and you could not help but watching them in adoration.

"Hey, that is my seat."

You said to your cat, shaking your head when he ignored you, meowing as Severus kept him warm.

"This isn't your seat anymore, Mrs Snape."

Severus pointed out, and you raised your eyebrows at him, a smile was painted on your face.

"Okay, the bleeding has stopped."

You announced, getting rid of the ice pack with a huge grin on your face. You still could not believe you just caused your husband's nose to get bloody. You were sure you would remember this for years to come, and he would too.

"Lesson of the day: Do not mess with Y/N Snape."

You smirked. Severus carefully held Loki and put him on the bed, before wrapping his arms around you to pull you into his lap, where you belonged. You chuckled and kissed his cheek, humming in content.

"Lesson learned, my love."

He said, receiving a nod from you. Severus' eyes grew wide when he remembered about breakfast, and he frowned when you clung to him, shutting your eyes as you wanted to sleep again.

"Y/N, come on. Breakfast!"

He almost whined, as you opened your eyes and laughed at him.

"Alright. I'm not falling asleep again."

"You are."

"..."

"And now I have to wake her up again."
